Are you reading a book and learning things from the book? What I did was read the book and highlight certain things that I knew I would need to remember. After I finished the required reading, I would take out a notebook and handwrite out everything that I highlighted... and THEN I would RE-REWRITE it in a shorthand that made sense to me and cut down on the number of pages from the long form I wrote out. I get overwhelmed when I have too many pages, but if I can get it down to manageable amounts by taking out words like 'is', 'the', 'and', 'as', 'or', etc...

rewriting it out twice had it really sinking in, and making it into shorthand that made sense to me really really made in sink in.

Good Luck!!
